Abstract
A paper type identification apparatus includes a passage configured to allow a sheet to be manually inserted thereinto, a reading sensor configured to read a surface of the sheet inserted into the passage and a controller configured to output a notification after reading a first surface of the sheet by the reading sensor. The notification is a notification to urge a user to read a second surface opposite to the first surface of the sheet by the reading sensor, and determine a type of the sheet based on a reading result of the first surface by the reading sensor and a reading result of the second surface by the reading sensor.

A paper type identification apparatus comprising:
- a passage configured to allow a sheet to be manually inserted thereinto;
- a reading sensor configured to read a surface of the sheet inserted into the passage;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- output a notification after reading a first surface of the sheet by the reading sensor, the notification being a notification to urge a user to read a second surface opposite to the first surface of the sheet by the reading sensor;
- and
- determine a type of the sheet based on a reading result of the first surface by the reading sensor and a reading result of the second surface by the reading sensor.
An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a sheet based on an image forming condition, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a passage configured to allow a sheet to be manually inserted thereinto;
- a reading sensor configured to read a surface of the sheet inserted into the passage;
- a display;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the display to display a screen after reading a first surface of the sheet by the reading sensor, the screen being a screen to urge a user to read a second surface opposite to the first surface of the sheet;
- control the display to display a plurality of candidates of a type of the sheet based on a reading result of the first surface by the reading sensor and a reading result of the second surface by the reading sensor;
- and
- control the image forming conditions based on the type of the sheet selected from among the plurality of candidates displayed on the display.
